The Full English Breakfast Replacement
I decided in the last couple of weeks to ditch the Full english for breakfast or some days the a half english breakfast.
In the last 6 months I have put on in excess of 1 stone or 14 plus pounds (1 sounds better than 14- but when you lose 14 sounds better than 1 !!). The main reason for the increase is limited exercise and when dropping daughter off at school there was a convenient breakfast place nearby for a quick brekkie and a large coffee.
What has prompted me was two things obviously the weight increase and general tiredness I was feeling and also the breakfast place on the board decided it was a good idea to put the number of calories and grammes of fat beside each choice. It startled me as I was nearly consuming 2/3 of my daily aloowance and way over the fat content. No wonder I was feeling sluggish and lethargic.
My wife does sell the very answer but at the time was not interested. So I started on the products. Essentially I have a Protein shake each morning. This is a combination of a strawberry flavoured (there are another 7 different flavours) soya protein powder and I mix this with apple juice and shake until the consistency is mixed then place in the fridge overnight to give it a thicker volume.
I did this for the last two weeks which is about half a tub. Each Morning I had this shake before the school run and was instantly full and ready to go. The fuel inside my body saw me through to lunchtime no problem with out the need to eat. Often after a full english I would be picking again, but the shakes did the job, saved me money and lost weight. In those 2 weeks I lost 7 pounds and 2 inches of my waist. My energy has soared as now drinking plenty of water instead of coffee and my habits have changed. Now doubt I will have the odd full english but to me this has replaced it and I feel a lot better for it.

Madchester Revivalist
I recently spent an evening at Manchester Midi School to do a DJ course as I was thinking of getting back into it as the last time I did it seriously was in the late 80's ( apart from a set at a wedding in France in 2003!!)
It has all changed as it is digital for a start but the 2 hour experience whetted my appetite and has given me a drive to get back on the road. Now as with anything times change and music moves on but that doesnt mean everyone has to. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing and can provoke feelings and nothing I feel better than music.
For me the whole Madchester experience was a wonderful time. Lots of parties and raves at weekends, baggy clothing, listening to bands and not manufactured groups. Sure it wasn't all rosy mostly hazy, there was a lot of being skint as clothes and music went hand in hand so I decided that if I was to DJ then this type of genre is what I would play. You had the wonderful bands of Joy Division, The smiths, New order, Happy Monday and Stone Roses fusing with the acid tunes such as 808 state. The feedback I get is looking good so I am now looking for equipment and looking forward to blasting those tunes out in environment it deserves.
For those who need a reminder I recommend a few CDs to remember and for those too young you are never too young. This was a revolution of music at the time when the charts was getting to same state as now with moguls such as stock, aitken and waterman ruling the waves with the safe bubblegum pop of jason and kylie.
I recommend this CD's and I hope you enjoy. Sorted!!

Fat Loss Answers
Many questions are asked about can you lose weight without feeling hungry, is breakfast really important, controlling cravings etc..
The key is to make sure you eat little and often during the day, this helps maintain your blood sugar levels from dropping such as fruits, veg, fish or chicken. they help fill you up without calorie increase. Also important that mild dehydration can increase feelings of hunger so a recommended 8 glasses of water a day can decrease those feelings.
Studies have shown that breakfast is important as this elevates and kick starts your blood sugars and this in turn decrease the cravings for high calorie/fatty foods at bay.If the idea of eating first thing in the morning isnt good then maybe a shake or smoothie may help, this can help you as quick in the morning if in a rush for work.
A lot of people ask if eating late at night cause more weight gain, the answer is simple NO!!, eating late is no different to eating during the day, your body is working all the time even when your up or when your asleep.
